S. D.'s surgery went very well on Wednesday. Afterward we went to pick up S. F. and Little G. from the grandparents' house, but of course we didn't leave immediately. After all, S. D. had just had surgery, and there was no way she was going straight home from a place as fun and fascinating as her grandparents' house. So, we stayed until after dinner.
We were discussing going off on a tangent, when suddenly S. F. blurted out, "I like chocolate oranges!" We sort of did a, "Huh? Where did that come from?" So S. F. proceded to explain.
The word tangent makes her think of tangerines, tangerines make her think of oranges, Valentine's Day makes her think of chocolate, therefore she likes chocolate oranges.
I now have a much better understanding of why so many of our conversations go awry. There's always something to smile, grimace, or groan about when talking with our kids. Luckily the majority cause a smile.
